Parentage:

Leaf colour

Colour group:

Red variegated

Upper surface:

The leaf is mainly bright
pinkish-red with occasional small stripes of paler red. The outer parts
of each leaf are usually striped with bright green and there are
occasional darker greyish-brown stripes. The green stripes vary from
very narrow to almost half the leaf width. Some leaves are completely
red and some have green stripes on one edge only. The actual leaf
margins are red.

Lower surface:

There is a very distinct orange
midrib but the general colour is greyish-green with dull pinkish-red
stripes. The green is much more extensive than on the upper surface.

Comments:

Our plants of this variety are
practically indistinguishable
from Phormium ‘Jester’.
